four days with Emacs

So far, so good. Yesterday I finally stopped trying to use vi navigation keys by default.

The only problem I’ve found so far - I can’t get either Aquamacs or Carbon Emacs to remember my window-size settings! I have to resize the window every time I launch the program.

Add the following lisp statement to the file ~/.emacs

(setq initial-frame-alist
‘( (width . 132)
(height . 64)
))

…or whatever other frame parameters you want. To get some idea of what frame parameters exist, RTFM or
switch to the *scratch* buffer in emacs and type “(pp (frame-parameters))” then press CTRL-J at end of line
(which causes the lisp statement before the cursor to get evaluated).

Thank you - that worked.
